📋 Description

• As a Lead Security Operations Center (SOC) Analyst at The Bancorp Bank, N.A., you will be at the forefront of safeguarding our digital environment. This pivotal role requires a seasoned professional with a deep understanding of security operations, incident response, and threat detection. You will leverage your extensive experience to identify and analyze security events, distinguishing between genuine threats and false positives by meticulously examining hosts, networks, cloud infrastructure, and various security signals. Your expertise will be crucial in leading the charge to respond to security incidents, mitigating their impact, and ensuring the integrity of our systems.
• This position is ideal for someone passionate about cybersecurity, driven by a desire to continuously enhance our detection and response capabilities. You will act as a technical authority, spearheading Chime’s security incident response program. This involves in-depth investigation, coordinated response efforts, and close collaboration with cross-functional teams including other Security teams, Engineering, Fraud, and various stakeholders. Your role will be instrumental in monitoring and analyzing events and signals across diverse logical environments, ensuring a comprehensive security posture.
• A key aspect of your responsibility will be to gather and analyze threat intelligence, identifying sophisticated adversaries, their tools, and their techniques. You will then develop and implement strategies to mitigate these threats and respond effectively to any breaches. This proactive approach extends to participating in the ongoing maturation of our Incident Response (IR) program, contributing to both technical advancements and policy development. You will also be tasked with driving proactive threat hunting initiatives, actively seeking out and neutralizing adversary activity within our environment.
• Beyond technical contributions, you will serve as a mentor to junior analysts, sharing your knowledge and guiding their development within the SOC. This leadership aspect is vital for building a strong, cohesive, and highly skilled security team. You will be expected to learn and grow continuously, staying abreast of the latest threats and security technologies, and applying this knowledge to your role. Ultimately, you will be responsible for executing team and company Objectives and Key Results (OKRs), contributing directly to the overall success and security of The Bancorp Bank.
• Your day-to-day activities will involve monitoring security alerts, performing deep-dive investigations into suspicious activities, and documenting findings. You will be responsible for the triage and prioritization of security incidents, ensuring timely and effective resolution. This includes developing and refining playbooks for common incident types, enhancing our ability to respond efficiently and consistently. You will also contribute to the development and tuning of security tools and technologies, such as SIEM, EDR, and IDS/IPS, to improve detection rates and reduce false positives. Collaboration with engineering teams will be essential to implement security controls and remediate vulnerabilities identified during investigations or threat hunts.
• Furthermore, you will play a role in post-incident analysis, conducting thorough reviews to identify lessons learned and implement improvements to prevent recurrence. This includes contributing to security awareness training by sharing insights from real-world incidents. Your ability to translate complex technical findings into clear, concise reports for both technical and non-technical audiences will be highly valued. You will be a key player in ensuring compliance with relevant security regulations and standards, and contributing to audits as needed. The dynamic nature of the threat landscape means you must be adaptable, quick-thinking, and capable of making critical decisions under pressure, all while maintaining a calm and professional demeanor. Your leadership will inspire confidence and ensure our defenses remain robust against evolving cyber threats.

• Minimum of 6 years of cybersecurity experience, with at least 3 years in a Security Operations Center (SOC) or Computer Security Incident Response Team (CSIRT) environment.
